Long periods of hard, free sheeting could see this Laurie Davidson design reproduce the form that won her the 1980 Montague Island Race. Skipper Erwin Vidor is one of the keenest on the coast and prior to this yacht, which has been in the water just over 16 months, he raced successfully the Farr one tonner Farr Out. Last year Phoenix finished 21st overall and 5th in division, a position this highly experienced crew could easily improve on.
